All that we have: health, skill, talents, possessions, love, joy, peace, opportunities, money, time, etc. comes from our Heavenly Father.
We too often forget that we are no stronger than a little newborn infant compared to our God. We build up kingdoms and claim them as our own. We pride ourselves in our accomplishments--when they are all His giving, His doing, His making.
All that we have comes from Him. Each new day is a gift, a mercy, a miracle from Him. We are dependent on His heavenly storehouses.
As we wait ... as we long for the day to join our MAF team in Angola, we trust in His perfect timing and His great knowledge. We bless His name for giving us a beautiful, healthy child--truly a gift from above!
"We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps." Prov. 16:9
"Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding." Prov. 3:5 (AMP)
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
